Some crazy people like to change wiper blades before they start scoring the 4 concentric quarter circles into your windshield.

Tires rarely stay balanced for the life of the tire. This is why almost every tire place recommends balancing every other rotation.

As far as I'm concerned if you pay for an oil change on a yaris, you're open season(or maybe an open wallet). Dealerships are closing across the nation, the economy sucks, and toyota is taking the brunt of it now because of the pedal recall. If I could make 40 bucks spraying a can of cleaner into your intake, I would too. I also like how preventative carbon maintenance done by a dealer is shunned here, but seafoaming your engine is pretty much SOP.
